Abstract

Germination by C. difficile spores is the first step in the establishment of potentially life-threatening C. difficile infection (CDI). A deeper understanding of the mechanism by which spores germinate may provide insight for how to either prevent spore germination into a disease-causing vegetative form or trigger germination prematurely when the spore is either in the outside environment or in a host environment that does not support the establishment of colonization/disease.
